I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 767 General, spare my life!
Su Yao's remarks, which took the initiative, completely angered Wang Kuang.

The governor's true colors were revealed at this moment, and he no longer wasted time talking to Su Yao. He immediately ordered Hao Meng to take Su Yao to the square and behead him in public as a warning to others.

However, upon hearing Wang Kuang's order, Su Yao just smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes:

"It's you who don't understand the situation, Lord Wang."

"You don't really think you can kill me?"

"Humph, you are still stubborn even when you are about to die!

Wang Kuang laughed in anger:

"Come here, take him away and behead him immediately!"

Wang Kuang's voice made the entire county governor's mansion tremble slightly, and he wanted to deal with Su Yao as soon as possible.

However, the soldiers escorting Su Yao did not make any movement at all.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Captain Hao, do it!"

Wang Kuang was confused and uncertain, while Xiang Xiong shouted at the top of his voice.

However, Hao Meng gave a bitter smile, stamped his feet, walked forward, and instead of taking Su Yao away, he respectfully uncuffed him.

"Captain Hao, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Kuang widened his eyes and took a few steps back, then pointed at Hao Meng with a trembling hand and said:
"You, traitor! How dare you betray me?!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Kuang was no fool. How could he not know that this was a good show performed by Hao Meng and Su Yao?
Seeing Wang Kuang's rage, Hao Meng shook his head and sighed:

"You are wrong, Lord Wang."

"The general represents the imperial court and commands all the troops in the country. I am loyal to the emperor's orders, so how can I be accused of betrayal?"

"Last night, the general visited our camp and persuaded us with his emotions and reason. Only then did I know that the governor was actually planning a rebellion."

"Today I came here with the general to give the governor a chance, but he is stubborn and insists on doing something that will lead to his own destruction."

Hao Meng covered his face and spoke in deep sorrow.

However, not only did Wang Kuang not believe this, but Sima Lang who was in the crowd was also shocked when he heard it.

What a good way to appeal to people’s emotions and explain things with reason.

If he had not witnessed with his own eyes last night how Hao Meng was defeated by Su Yao in one move and cried for mercy, he would have almost believed it.

Hao Meng's words were obviously carefully crafted to cooperate with Su Yao's actions.

The purpose was naturally to bring Su Yao to the county magistrate's mansion without bloodshed and get a chance to face Wang Kuang directly.

Therefore, except for Hao Meng, these fully armed soldiers escorting Su Yao were almost all the personal guards of the Jinyiwei he brought with him.

There is no doubt that Wang Kuang has fallen into a desperate situation at this moment, and any excuses he makes seem pale and powerless.

Su Yao was the leader of this drama. He stood there with a smile on his face, and everything was under his control.

"Master Wang, what else do you have to say now?"

Su Yao said calmly:
"I'll give you one last chance. Just surrender and come back to Beijing with me."

Wang Kuang's face turned pale, veins bulged on his forehead, he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

He never expected that his carefully planned scheme would be so easily seen through by Su Yao, and that the other party would even turn the tables and force him into a desperate situation.

However, how could the proud Wang Kuang be willing to surrender?
Su Yao was unstoppable, and Wang Kuang had thought that there must be some trick involved in his being captured so easily.

Therefore, he still prepared some back-up plans:

"Prefect, retreat quickly!"

Xiang Xiong dragged Wang Kuang towards the backyard, shouting as he ran:
"Go, go quickly - kill them all!"

As the two men took action, ambushes appeared everywhere in the county magistrate's mansion.

It is said that Wang Kuang had already dispatched thousands of soldiers into the city last night, preparing to ambush Su Yao.

Although he heard today that Su Yao was captured, in order to prevent any accidents, Zhang Cheng still suggested that he ambush 500 swordsmen and axemen inside and outside the county magistrate's mansion to prepare for any eventuality.

Now, seeing that Su Yao's capture was indeed a trick, they immediately activated the backup plan, fighting to the death, ready to kill Su Yao and others in the county magistrate's mansion.

At this time, following Xiang Xiong's call, all the ambushers in the mansion were mobilized. They waved their weapons, ran out of the garden and rooms, and rushed straight towards Su Yao and others.

At the same time, figures holding bows and crossbows appeared on the eaves. They took the lead and fired arrows to strike first.

Faced with the sudden ambush and arrows falling like raindrops, Su Yao remained calm, as if he had expected it.

The moment the ambush appeared, Su Yao was one step ahead. He stretched out his hand and drew the sword from Hao Meng's waist. Then, at Wang Ling's shout of "Raise your shield!", he leaned forward and ran quickly.

Su Yao waved his sword to deflect the arrows approaching his face, while using his body to take the damage from the bows and crossbows.

This scene once made Wang Kuang both surprised and happy.

He was shocked by Su Yao's bravery, but he also felt that he was a fool who would definitely be shot into a hedgehog.

However, Wang Kuang's joy did not last for a few seconds.

Wang Kuang, who had just escaped behind a group of swordsmen and was about to admire Su Yao's fall, suddenly discovered that Su Yao was not hit by an arrow at all. It turned out that under that loose cloth, Su Yao was actually wearing a set of royal gold silk soft armor, which completely ignored the damage of stray arrows.

Su Yao's figure was as fast as lightning, moving freely in the rain of arrows, as if those arrows could not touch him at all.

He waved his sword, easily deflecting the incoming arrows, and quickly approached the ambushers who were rushing up.

"Protect the General!"

Seeing this, Wang Ling shouted loudly and led the Jinyiwei to quickly adjust their formation to form a solid line.

On one hand, they guarded the gate of the mansion tightly to block the swordsmen who rushed out of the street and wanted to attack from both sides. On the other hand, they drew their swords and joined Su Yao in fighting the ambushers who poured out of the mansion.

In the rain of arrows, Su Yao was like a swimming dragon, and after a few breaths he arrived in front of the first wave of enemy soldiers.

There was a flash of cold light, and the three soldiers in front suddenly lost their heads, with blood gushing out of their necks. The scene was horrifying.

"what?!"

"So strong!"

"Death to the bastard fish!"

Faced with the enemy who were suddenly frightened in an instant, Su Yao roared and pounced forward like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The sword in his hand swung like lightning, and every swing was accompanied by a cold light, and several enemy soldiers fell down in an instant.

Those swordsmen had never seen such a fierce attack before. For a moment, they were frightened by Su Yao's momentum and retreated one after another, not daring to move forward easily.

However, Wang Kuang, Xiang Xiong and others did not despair because of this.

They knew very well that although Su Yao was brave, he could not defeat four hands with two fists. As long as they could delay time and wait for more ambushes to arrive, they still had a chance to turn the situation around.

"Quick, stop him!"

"Don't worry about the other soldiers, first subdue this thief named Su!"

Wang Kuang shouted loudly, retreated repeatedly, and commanded his soldiers to besiege Su Yao with all their strength.

However, his efforts were naturally in vain.

The Jinyiwei soldiers guarded the gate of the mansion and divided the ambush troops into different battlefields. A large number of ambush troops outside the mansion crowded in front of the gate. Only a few people could engage in battle at the same time, and they could not rush into the gate of the mansion in a short time.

In the county magistrate's mansion, Su Yao turned into a god of war when facing the ambushes coming from all directions.

He rushed left and right among the enemy group, invincible. His sword skills were extremely sharp, and every time he swung his sword, an enemy soldier would fall down and blood would splatter everywhere.

Under his leadership, Hao Meng and the Jinyiwei in the mansion were also highly motivated. They fought bravely and engaged in a desperate battle with the enemy soldiers.

"The general is mighty!"

"Kill all these traitors!"

The Jinyiwei shouted slogans and fought side by side with Su Yao. Their shouts echoed in the county magistrate's mansion, deafening.

Wang Kuang was horrified when he saw this. He did not expect Su Yao to be so brave and his ambush troops were so vulnerable in front of him.

He knew very well that if he continued like this, he would surely be defeated:

"Mr. Xiang, find a solution quickly!"

Wang Kuang shouted anxiously, calling for help from Xiong.

However, he didn't expect that when he turned around, he saw Xiang Xiong's face was even uglier than his, and he actually ran away.

Wang Kuang was so angry when he saw this, but he couldn't care less at the moment. It would be better to say that Xiang Xiong's escape showed him a clear way out.

If you can’t beat them, just run away.

There is a back door in the direction of the garden. It would be a wise choice to escape during the chaos and keep a useful body for future use.

"Hurry up, sir, and follow me!"

Almost at the same time as Wang Kuang, Zhang Cheng also thought of escaping.

He even took a step ahead:
"I have arranged for personal soldiers to support us from the back door. As long as the governor can successfully break through, we can make plans later!"

Great minds think alike. A glimmer of hope flashed in Wang Kuang's eyes.

He glanced at the blood-soaked county governor's mansion and shook his head violently, knowing that he had no other choice at this moment. He could only risk everything and fight to the death.
"Follow me, all of you, follow me—let's break out of the garden!"

Upon hearing this, the personal soldiers responded immediately and followed Wang Kuang to the garden.

However, just as they ran to the garden gate, they saw a figure flashing like a ghost and blocking their way.

In an instant, a figure in a red robe fell from the sky.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, the heads of two of Wang Kuang's personal guards who were following closely beside him flew off into the air, and blood gushed out all over his body and face:
"Wang Taishou, where are you going?"

Feeling the hot blood on his face and the cold blade on his neck, Wang Kuang's legs suddenly went limp and he knelt down with a thump:

"Spare my life."

"I was wrong, please spare my life, General!"
